Description

Economic motivations towards space sustainability Space sustainability will be a theme and a topic of concern for the International Astronautical Congress this year. This session will prioritize papers addressing the economics of sustainability. Sustainability may refer to the space environment itself, such as debris in orbits or on celestial bodies, the allocation of spectrum, or the Earth’s environment and related climate issues involving space activities. Examples of more specific economic topics should involve identifiable objectives of sustainability such as: government funded R&D and specific programs incentives or regulatory actions involving private sector space initiatives, cost-benefit analyses, and quantification of risk and impact assessments of space activities. Impacts from such programs on the Earth are also important elements of economic studies of space sustainability.
